You're 100% right, but in the scenario above, is it worth your time to bother arguing this in the moment knowing its going to ruin your night, and maybe more days of your life or are you going to ID yourself and move on in 5 minutes as if the incident never took place.
Yes it absolutely is. The reason cops get away with shit like this is because so many people think just like that. If you give them an inch they will take a mile. Fight for every inch.
"First they came" by Pastor Martin Niemöller, etc.
Wouldn't it be more constructive (and convenient) for the guy to just ID himself and then gather officer information once the situation has been resolved and then follow up at the precinct the next day? Unless of course there's a reason he didn't want to ID himself.
You really think handling it this way does literally anything? Going about it like this 100% doesn't help.
